This Framework aims to provide governments at all levels with an integrated diagnostic, guidance and benchmarking tool to help: i) Design and implement public governance reforms that can lead to improvements in, and the sustainability of, prosperity for their country and wellbeing for its citizens; ii) Design and implement reforms in any policy area by taking public governance approaches for effective policy-making into account so that reforms can respond more effectively to complex, multidimensional challenges, ultimately leading to improved outcomes for citizens and businesses. iii) Design and pursue a public-governance reform agenda that can enable governments to move closer to OECD standards and practice in this area. The primary target audiences of this Framework include centres of government, line ministries, agencies and other public institutions in the executive branch at all levels of government focusing on designing, implementing and evaluating policy and governance reform agendas for results. Beyond the executive branch, this Framework could also be useful for those legislative and judicial branches seeking to modernise their approaches to governance in their quest to strengthen their capacity to serve citizens and businesses successfully.
